ABSTRACT Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery is a rare complication of injury after craniomaxillofacial trauma. Delayed recurrent epistaxis after head and facial trauma is the most distinctive manifestation of traumatic internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. Epistaxis due to pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery is difficult to control, and may lead to hemor- rhagic shock or asphyxia and thus seriously threatens life. The purpose of this paper is to present a rare case of recurrent epistaxis secondary to ICA pseudoaneurysm following blunt maxillofacial trauma. Endovascular stenting was performed and the recurrent epistaxis was successfully arrested. How to cite this article Kumar D, Sahu GR, Kumar A, Mukherjee KK, Rattan V.

This paper is a case report of a young patient after a major head trauma causing multiple skull base fractures. The trauma occasioned pseudoaneurysm (PSA) from intracavernous C4 segment of left internal carotid artery (ICA) protruding in the sphenoidal sinus. After two months, two episodes of massive epistaxis occurred. Consequently, the post-traumatic PSA was treated, after carotid occlusion test, with flow-diverter stent positioning. A computed tomography angiography study performed in the following days showed complete resolution of the post-traumatic PSA lesion and ICA patency.

Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm

Abstract A patient who sustained a gunshot wound to the neck and subsequent blunt trauma is presented. No angiogram was performed after the initial injury. Subsequently, the patient developed a cerebral embolus from a thrombus dislodged from a pseudoaneurysm of the cervical carotid artery, resulting in complete occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery. After antiplatelet therapy, the distal internal carotid artery recanalized. and the pseudoaneurysm occluded spontaneously. We stress the need for the use of arteriography in the initial evaluation of penetrating injuries to the neck and the utility of repeated arteriograms for further treatment planning as these traumatic lesions can change with time.
